I've come to the conclusion that the Hunter's Campfire is actually a diary. As a result, I felt the need to share some monumental happenings that occurred in my life this Friday. Hold onto your hats. This is going to be intense.
-I had a mild disagreement with someone else.
-My dog suffered from constipation.
-I stubbed my toe.
-I changed the oil in a vehicle.
-And last but not least, it rained. And I'm not kidding about this. Water literally fell from the sky and onto the earth. It was like.... totally crazy.

Your choice of oil (regardless of what it actually was) was horrendous, and screams incompetence. If you changed the oil yourself, you're a [intercoursing] braggart. If you had someone else do so, your a [birth canal].

I worked for twenty-one of the past twenty-three days and yesterday was my first of three off, so I cut off the old jockey wheel on the trailer and welded a new AL-KO with an eight inch wheel on, I have coated the work with Penetrol and shall spray it with charcoal hammertone when I get up later today, then put it together on monday.
On the good news side we had 35 mils (140 points) here the day before and the countryside is awash which effectively puts the kibosh on going and getting wood...it will have to wait 'til next week when I get a couple of more days off. Hopefully it will be dry enough to get around the paddocks.
Shoelaces! Now that is in my wheelhouse. I got a new pair of Altra Lone Pine 4.0 shoes and they had orange laces, phuggin amazing. I can shuffle along like a gazelle now.

Had you stayed in Montana, you could have witnessed a true miracle today.
I mowed the lawn.
My least favorite thing in the world.

When I win lotto I am going to invest in wog lawn.
Regarding shoelaces. Do you have any recommendations? There's so many choices!
You got your hard weave cotton boot lace on the right and your soft weave stretchy poly crap on the left. The latter stretch and load up with stickers and cactus spines.
I thought I was the only one who still used the term 'wog'...
Pretty much used by all here...but used inappropriately as it is now used to label Italians instead of how it was originally used to label the wogs from the middle east.
Last Gentleman here that I heard use the term correctly was old Freddy Fewfeathers, he was telling me how he had machine-gunned a group of wogs (arabs) they took prisoner in WW2...he really did not like them at all and didn't piss about with them.
The ones from Marshall Med Supply are dandy. I haven't heard my bride snore in 3 months.
I wonder if I can get one that fits my dog.
They have adjustable straps. I bet you could make it work. If you want to see something funny. Get out of bed and walk around her side where the machine is. Squeeze the air tube shut and watch how fast she wakes up. 😁

The old Oakdale Theater in Wallingford had a revolving stage. Saw Roy there in the early 80s. Heck of a show. He played a Spanish number on a 12 string, the tempo so fast you couldn’t see his hands moving. Must have busted 2 or 3 strings never missed a note. Played with the flu. Heck of an entertainer.

Those are pretty tall boots! It's amazing that you still have them. I would have thought that they got damaged at Verdun when you fought beside Sgt. York Do you still have the leggins and jodpurs?

You’re in luck.
Mowing the lawn is a Campfire staple when it comes to conversation.
I mowed the lawn today. Well, not exactly My GF'S Grandson came over and used the weed wacker [ about 100 ft. in total] Used the push mower on the grass around the bushes Used the tractor to cut 1/2 acre And the leaf blower to sweep the 15 by 51 ft patio. I did the best I could to help him from my lawn chair. It was quite tiring, I'm here to tell you. And he actually took the $10 I offered him! Boy! These kids today!
Para cord makes good shoe laces & in an emergency you can build a shelter, start a fire or make a weapon with it. I've never used it to mow the grass but have used it to tuna fish.

Kellory made an M4 Sherman tank out of para cord once.

I am partial to paracord laces myself. Though I thought Kellory caught a family of bigfeet with his laces? I could have the stories conflated though.

Let's not dull this thread up with a bunch of religion.
Let's get back to shoelaces.
Now I've seen some real good advice about them so far. Truth be told I usually just use the standard issue shoelace that comes with the shoes I buy. But what about when End Times come? I want to be prepared. Shoelaces can be used for so many things. Lacing up shoes, for one. Tying up people, for another. Practicing sailor knots. Crafting. Fixing shit. Strangle-bating (auto-erotic asphyxiation for you medical types). Been really getting into that lately. And when End Times come, it's gonna get even more popular. Can probably trade laces for whisky even. Which can enhance strangle-bating. Jeez, I need to order 30 of each kind of shoelace like immediately.
When choosing laces for the hunt, it's always hard to decide if melting into the background takes precedence or looking cool in case I run into some even cooler guys from Texas, or Florida.
Anyone still using leather boot laces? Those things used to be da bomb before all the newfangled synthetic stuff. Just don't knot them too hard when wet.
On the subject of shoelaces and diaries, I returned to California from Montana last night and there was a package waiting for me. It came from an address in Florida and contained a dozen tubes of the substance in the picture below.
I have family in Florida, but they'd never send me a gift. I know that a lawsuit I recently filed has pissed off certain people in a government of a middle eastern nation (it rhymes with gutter), so this is likely just them sending me a message. I am a slow learner, though, so I think I will send a message back to those who I think sent the gift and ask them to send Astroglide next time they are in Florida.

Yes, I do!
Here’s a pair of 12" boots made for me bt Tom Mattamore, based on the Model 1904 high quarter marching boot!

You can use that for strangle-bating. You'll need some shoelaces or at least a leather belt.

Occassionally. But not often. I usually just wear my Red wing iron rangers. They are going on year 7 of constant wear.
I just watched Bond, James Bond rip the laces out of his shoes & loop them on his rappelling rope to use to go back up(I'll bet there's a term for that, besides ascend, that is ). They almost had to be para-cord laces to do that.
BTW, the gadgets used in double naught spy movies in the early days weren't real at the time, laser beams, wristwatch monitors,etc. & just way to far fetched. Silly stuff. Make believe. Yes, make believe, or until a few decades passed anyway.

Just like 20 years ago, if you brought up the topic of strangle-bating, people would be like what the hell, freak. Now, it's more popular than ever.

On shoelaces: Do you lace boots/shoes right over left or left over right? It's a rhetorical question because any sane person laces right over left. R/L is God's way. Anyone who laces L/R should be tied to a post and fed Ex-Lax.
Yesterday I found out, yet again, that the fat black chick actually won the gubernatorial election in GA, so we all can rest easy now and wait for her moving van to pull up at the mansion. The suspense has been killing me.
Her opponent might want to borrow one of those shoelaces, a long, strong one.

Breaking News: Generalissimo Francisco Franco is Dead. Reports state that the Generalissimo died from an apoplectic fit after he accidentally broke a bootlace.
Update: Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead. Local news sources report the broken bootlace is now lying in state at the Almudena Cathederal. We will continue to monitor the situation and and update if there is any change in the bootlaces' condition.
Hahaha. Cooking with gas. I havent heard or thought of that one since my great and wonderful dear old uncle passed. How could i have not missed that. He was the best yellowcat fisherman i ever knew.
Just think, there was a time it was wonderful to get that first propane tank and get a gas stove going in the house rather than get kindling going and waiting forever to taste that first morning coffee.

If you ever want to see the TSA go into full confused mode, just tell them you're not complying with anything they ask and that you are going to take a different flight.

You're channeling your inner Hemingway, it must be from your newfound proximity to Key West. Sleeping with six toed cats and martinis are next.
I'm not sure how to transform from boot laces to drinking heavily cause it's raining ,, but thinking that's what got me into this conversation to begin with.
The sun popped out here, but it was too late, already drinking.

i'm not anti-social. don't want ya to think nor believe that for an instant.
however, i'm pretty non-social. that's a world of difference from anti-social.
i checked with my wife, and she says whatever. but don't take in any riff-raff.
my wife has her toyota in the shop which is pretty much uncommon & unlikely.
so, if it gets out of the local independent shop in time, i can make it to the bass-pro?

Liberty Creek Merlot, $6 a bottle, you can sit out on the front porch with your dog and watch the as gate opens and closes at the end of the street. If’n you’re really lucky the HOA lady may stop by with her ruler to measure the grass again.

That said, I wonder if you might have had had an epiphany ….or something. Maybe on the usefulness of a .380 in Miami Dade as oppose to something with more shoulders?
Like others I've been watching your declared metamorphosis, and am trying to figure out if you have slipped into normalcy, or actually still have the occasional - brilliant - flash of loonyism!

Unless you have a pm from Gus with his cel # and an invite to come anytime, I'm guessing that's not only a "of course not" but also a "please quit asking".
If I lived on your travel route you'd be welcome to come stay with me for as long as you want. But I don't. Plus I'm presently out of the country. Indefinitely.
OK Captain Search Engine, where have I ever claimed to be a success?
I prefer the label “crushing failure” applied to me not long ago, takes the pressure off. Not just for me either, depressed folks here be like “My life sucks, but at least I got hot water and AC.”

A couple weeks ago my wife went to California to visit her family.
Anyway I got bored one evening and changed the oil in my riding lawn mower.
Went with Mobil 1 synthetic 10w-30.
Chit was like $10 quart, filter was $8.
There went the booze money for the week!
I just use whatever is laying around for the lawnmowers. F u c k it anyway. Kid couldn't hardly get the JD to slug through the weeds today after a week's worth of rain. Lawn looks like [bleep].

Gus,
it's just as well. As soon as Hatari, Jorge and Pugs let him bring his "Shockwave" on their "Bird Hunts" he will drop you like a hot rock. You don't need friends like that.
First rule of the big city: don't let crazy people know where you live.
This is the last time I’ll go grocery shopping Sunday night. The more discerning local winos, following my example, have all switched over to Liberty Creek Merlot.

Carlo Rossi is my cheap drinking wine, Burgandy or Paisano, about $11 for a 5 liter jug.

How was it Birdy? Man, this LCreek CAB is fine.
HEB or Walgreens, Neal.
Bearing in mind I have NO idea what Chardonnay is supposed to to taste like. First impression was a trip down memory lane........
BOONES FARM!..... from back in the days when Ernest and Julio made millions peddling cheap wine to teenagers.But less sweet and more refined than that.
Second impression.... this is what what white vinegar tastes like before it becomes vinegar.
Which ain’t to say it’s bad. The Merlot and Cabernet demand your attention, you COULD chugalug them but that would require conscious effort.
The flavor of this Chardonnay is subtle and unobtrusive enough that if I was thirsty I could easily drink the whole 1.7.L in about two minutes or less.
Still is 12% alcohol by volume tho, just like the others.

Do you have a Trader Joe’s around? They’re the king of two buck chuck. They have some respectable wines for amazing prices. I’m not a wine drinker and can’t tell the difference between expensive wines and cheap ones but those with more sophisticated palates tell me they’re a great value.
I like Trader Joe’s, they always have quality products at reasonable prices. I like their cheeses. 👍

I'm pretty sure two buck Chuck has gone up to three bucks, last time I was in a Trader Joe's they wanted $2.99 for it.
My local hooch emporium has some stuff called Three Wishes that goes for about $3.50 and it ain't half bad. I go in on Wednesdays which is their 10% off day and stock up on it, that makes it $3.15. Even Birdwatcher could swing that.
Regarding shoelaces. Do you have any recommendations? There's so many choices!
You got your hard weave cotton boot lace on the right and your soft weave stretchy poly crap on the left. The latter stretch and load up with stickers and cactus spines.
Those are pretty tall boots! It's amazing that you still have them. I would have thought that they got damaged at Verdun when you fought beside Sgt. York Do you still have the leggins and jodpurs?
Russell moccasin turkey snaker left and Russell something else on rt.
The ones on the right look just like my Russell Bird Shooters that I bought in around 1977. They are still going strong and I can't wear them out! They worked fine in Africa in the '80s and in New Mexico today. The soles seem impervious to wear.

I am not sure how you lot get boots to last that long, mine are generally screwed within four years.
Unless I leave them in the back of the cupboard and don't use them.
Some things are always the same. Only thing that changes is the day of the week. If you are willing, it will come back around too. Did you find the key?

We do have Trader Joe’s here but with the $3 in gas required to drive there I could just as easily spring for the Yellowtail.
The verdict is what was left of the Chardonnay, like the way too sweet LIberty Creek Sweet Red before it, was poured out as an offering to the compost pile gods this morning

Choosing a $6 bottle of wine can be tricky.
"Spring" for the Yellowtail.
LMAO.
I guess we'll add wine to the list of schit you don't comprehend.

They are so comfortable its unreal, even after a full day of wear. My legs may be tired but my feet feel great in those boots driving home from even 8 or so miles after quail.

Life’s afforded me the opportunity to try the finer things in life, 5 star hotels, crystalle champagne, fancy restaurants.
Give me a campfire, a decent bourbon, or a $6 box of wine at the cabin. Those are where my tastes lie, not because it’s more affordable, it’s just better. For me anyway
I guess we'll add wine to the list of schit you don't comprehend.
Yellowtail is the next most expensive at H-E-B, $9 versus $6, no idea as to quality. You seem to presume I ain’t tongue in cheek here (no obscene homosexual references please).
Anyways, did you know Florida is like the BEST place in the nation to develop new varieties of lawn grass? So much so that there’s actually entire varieties of lawn grass named after Florida and places therein.
Yepper, lawns just grow like a weed down there, every day, all year round.......

Yes you've told us many times how easy it would be for you to slay pussy if you were to ever take interest in pussy.
No, I’ve mentioned events from my past, mostly in response to pointed queries from the likes of yourself, never thought of it as “slaying”, it was always their idea. It’s women who actually do the choosing.
I also mentioned that the only woman I’ve kept company with for going on thirty years now was my ex.
Bristoe is right, there are lots of single older women out there who.would appreciate some good times and attention. Could be when I’m oughtta debt I’ll have the resources on hand to give ‘em some.

$3 in gas would indicate that it’s not too far away......don’t you ride a bicycle everywhere? Since when does your bicycle take gas? Is it cheaper to buy [bleep] wine at the Stop&Rob and dump it out because it’s not palatable than it is to buy decent wine and drink it all? If someone is buying and drinking wine it would seem they could afford to splurge on getting their ass to the store that sells decent stuff. You ain’t making money by drinking wine and dumping it in the compost bin seems less thrifty than using that crappy wine for cooking.
If you were to go crazy and spring for the $3 in gas to go to Trader Joe’s you do know that you can buy more than 1 bottle at a time? Buying more than 1 at a time allows you to spread the three dollars of gas money over several bottles of wine reducing the extrapolated total. They also have food that you could buy to further lower your transportation costs.
I appreciate thriftiness but hate cheapskates. One uses intelligence to save money while the other uses ignorance to justify not paying.
Those are my thoughts on the matter and I cannot care less what someone else spends their money on as long as they’re happy with their poor choices. 😂
We saw a new guy last Thursday, his name is David Joel, good singer, good original songs, good to dance to. Friday was a long day at work. Roy Clark opened for him.
You seem to presume I ain’t tongue in cheek here (no obscene homosexual references please).
Again, you don't seem to grasp what is being said.
If you burn three dollars in fuel to buy a case of wine at Trader Joe's you would be way ahead, both in quality and cost.
But it's pretty obvious you're the kinda guy that buys his Newport's one at a time and fishes with a cane pole. So I don't know why anybody bothers offering you any sort of advice.

Harumph! The H-E-B grocery chain a Stop&Rob? Bite yer tongue, if there’s a corporate chain that does more for, and is loved more by the locally communities they serve I ain’t aware of it.
Note too, everyone agrees that LC’s Merlot is surprisingly good, and their Cabernet is decent. Only way to find out about their Sweet Red and Chardonnay was to try it.
Trader Joe’s is a thirty mile round trip on the Interstates, or a four hour round trip by the route I’d be obliged to take on a bicycle. Would you drive 200 miles (four hours) over $3? Would you do it if ya had to ride a bicycle four hours in cross-town traffic

Oh, I got a family tree littered with alcoholics, no way I’m gonna have a whole case laying around. Same reason I quit the six gallon boxes. I can swing a liter-and-a-half a week. If you drink as much as you claim (I doubt it) you might consider doing the same.
I don't drink much wine these days. But there was a time when my wife and I would occasionally split a bottle of white German wine.
It all started when she took a trip to Germany and brought back a bottle which was recommended to her by a woman in a wine shop there. It was very good. We tried to find it here and never could,..so we started buying various bottles of white German wine to see if we could find one that would match it. We never found any as good. But we found many that were very good.
Variants of Pinot Gris are usually good. But they're not priced like 2 buck chuck.
Birdy, You crack me up. 👍......you’ve got your roll and ain’t nobody gonna slow that roll down. Keep on truckin’...or bikin’...or whatever.

One doesn’t down a can of wine, crush it against one’s forehead and toss it out the window.

Went and saw the Avengers movie. It was a fun family thing but the movie didn't do much for me. Needed subtitles to identify the various characters. Towards the end there's a black fellow who is, I presume, "Super Nigerian? " Whatever. Two billion? Fugg.

I don't think you're a BS artist. I think you're a condescending prick that likes to insinuate a level of superiority in his conversation. You do it in a passive aggressive manor so it slips by most people but it's easily recognized by some.
For example, you don't state "I prefer X type of motorcycle." You say things like "I ride too fast for any Harley."
You don't state "I can't afford a hot water heater." You say things like "I am a man so I don't need a hot water heater."
You also state things like "Living OCONUS in the military isn't the same as the Peace Corps." Which implies your time in the Gay Brigade was somehow tougher than somebody's deployment. Even though, you've never deployed. Or even served.
Statements like this imply that those that ride Harley's can't ride to your level. And that those that have a hot water heater, are less boss than the great Birdwatcher. Or someone's year in Afghanistan was less arduous than your sitting around a bunch of Spider Monkeys with your thumb up your ass.
Your stories are also purposely vague. You don't say "I was on a rudimentary fishing vessel with an outboard off the coast of Africa." You say schit like "I was in a dugout canoe."
When you're called on these things you always back peddle and type fifteen paragraphs of more BS, but that's just another veiled reason for you to talk about yourself some more. Which is what condescending pricks tend to do.
So if anyone finds my online critique of your posts to be unfair, perhaps they can all pitch in and get you some writing lessons so you know how to better portray your real self.

Dude! LOTS and LOTS of people ride too fast for any Harleys. Things like that makes me realize how little time you have around road bikes. One more tip while I got your attention. In corners don’t look at the road in front, look all the way around where you want to go. Don’t worry about lean angle, that will take care of itself until you scrape something, and you lean by exerting gentler forward pressure in the inside handlebar

At present my credit rating is close to 800, I have about $30,000 of room on my credit, since I just consolidated I’m now putting $1,500 a month against debt even tho I still pay my ex’s health and car insurances (in return she pays on our son’s 401k).
I could spring $700 installed whatever for a water heater today but I don’t need it bad enough. I don’t live in this house I merely camp here.

Three years, no running water, no electricity, local foods, paid in local currency so worthless a months salary wouldn’t buy a bucket. No phone, no communication, Weighed 15 pounds less than my high school cross country weight.
Water off the roof in the rainy season, water out of a muddy spring in the forest in the dry season. No fuel for my kerosene stove, no firewood, I took a calculated risk in that there were no other humans upstream, was obliged to drink it as is.
Military coup, soldiers at our school, shot gun right behind me just to see me jump (not much, the FNAL was cool). Soldiers come to forcibly take students to work, I go too, get trunk eith soldiers.
70 miles on foot through roadless bush, 35 miles out to sea in a dugout (everybody on the ‘net calls em dugout canoes, as everybody did back then), Victory in a five mile foot race against actual African 16 to 18yo athletes
THREE YEARS of watching the lizards climb the walls at night, lantern turned low to conserve kerosene, bored out of my skull. No radio.
School holidays spent driving a Vaccination Team LandRover in the boonies, through roadblocks manned by drunk, bored soldiers.
Drought, famine, USAID white rice from Crowley LA for three meals a day, four months straight, except Peace Corps snuck me 18 small tins of tuna a month, one every other day, my only protein
The BEST friggin drunks ever, either in a mud walled village somewhere or in fancy tourist digs in Togo when ya travelled to Accra or Lome to get yer quarterly 5cc of Hepatitis gamma gobulin and reunited with everyone else down from their sites.
The Peace Corps rocked I shoulda gone in the Military after that, and would if I had it to do over. I did OK at Quantico in the summer PLC program in college, but never had to face deselection either.
But I was 26 when I got back and advised that I should work on my career. No I shouldn’t, turns out I suck at careers.

iPhone Dude. You’ve pointed that out several times.
The donut was a result of the constantly under inflated tire going down the interstate.
You can't make this schit up.
There’s a guy on the ‘net, father and a Cop (???) yet, involved father, active hunter and fisherman of some repute on the internet.
This guy is critiquing my lawn and how I cut it, making fun of my iPhone and has informed me that I reported a low tire in my driveway four years ago.
Furthermore he’s currently spreading disinformation about a tire tread I had fly off a month (???? hang on I’ll ask him) ago. Recently he has made disparaging comments about my vehicles and asked what else I owned was a “POS”.
Suddenly I am filled with insecurity about the ‘73 Marlin 336 “Cowboy” carbine in my safe, and embarrassed that my Glock only a Gen. 2.
I live in the fear that he is gonna mercilessly disparage my laundry detergent and toothpaste choices next.

Men insult each other face to face, otherwise what’s the point? But, I try not to insult people anyway because what if they’re right I also notice that, just like we are far more likely to fall in love with pretty women, most guys are far more likely to insult guys who CAN’T kick their a$$.
On the topic of insults tho, most people will agree that in the heyday of this place the ‘Fire was a pleasant place to visit. It weren’t Travis alone what dragged down this place and resulted in so many leaving, but he did as much to bring that about as any.
You missed "sleeping on a 3" thick foam pad on the floor"
laffing
The problem with foam pads is they get sweaty and I invariably end up moving off of them in my sleep. The thing to use is a 100% cotton Sherwyn-Williams 15x12 foot painters tarp. Wash and dry it high heat to shrink and soften it.
Folded double its cool to the touch and heavy enough to take the hard edge off of sleeping on a hard surface AND it’s big enough for the dog too.
I figure the ability to sleep on the floor is something one should hang on to as long as possible.,Another challenge is getting up off the floor without use by any supports. So easy we never thought about it when young, no longer.
Ya know, I do believe I could actually make that fishing trip happen, especially if I went over in advance to scope things out, introduce myself to the locals and arrange things.
The biggest hassle would be all the friggin shots (nine?) and gamma gobulin.,Then too chloroquine phosphate (500mg a week, two bitter little pills) no longer works on Plasmodium vivax (malaria). The newer stuff that still works has unpleasant side effects. Without malaria meds tho you’re dead inside of six months. They didn’t call it the White Mans’ Graveyard fer nuthin’.

Takes a multitude of shade tree mechanics to keep them all running, and obviously, they do.
When former students complain there aint any Tex-Mexicans at the fancy out-of-State Universities they got scholarships to, I tell ‘em if they have a problem with that, the problem lies in them, and not those other people.
There were three cohorts at that wedding,. The old-time Tejano cohort was headed by that retired Air Force Officer, who sadly passed not long after from the effects of type 2 diabetes.
The Filipino cohort was headed by his wife, the lady who witnessed the Bataan Death March as a child and who spent the war years spent the war years hiding in the jungle while father fought with the guerillas. Her younger brother was at the wedding too, the career army guy who turned 60 while serving as Crew Chief on a Blackhawk in Iraq.
The Irish contingent was headed by that 6th Marine survivor of Okinawa and his wife, who was bombed out of her house by the Luftwaffe as a child. That same lady, two months after her second knee replacement, is fixing to go skydiving yet again at the end of this month. This time in company with the fiancés of two of her grandsons. (An emerging trend seems to be that the women in my family got bigger sets than the guys).
Looking back, that wedding was like the joining of two retards who were actually the scions of two distinguished Royal Houses.
There were also six or seven (White) East Texas Yahoos who mostly showed up on motorcycles, all wearing black t-shirts depicting a German chick riding her Ducati. Those guys are still my brothers to this very day
I also hand delivered two loads of horseshittt to the wife's garden from my next door job....
I'm sure she approved.
Ya know, we may bitch and whine amongst ourselves, but I'd be there in a minute if one of you guys were nearby and needed help. I can't think of anyone here that I wouldn't fight for when things got bad.

That is pretty much exactly the sort of thing I would do.
Anyways, let me know and we can plan it.
Biggest expense would be airfare, physical danger from the locals in country virtually non-existent, but the preemptive medical costs before departure are prob’ly significant.

What you will see is crowded streets and a multitude of vehicles, many old. Takes a multitude of shade tree mechanics to keep them all running, and obviously, they do.
Not sure what you took exception to in that statement, or how that implied that being where I was, was tougher than being in combat.
This guy is the closest I've ever come to Afghanistan, the only guy I've heard of that turned down an actual appointment to West Point to go enlisted instead. He served his time in Afghanistan assigned to forward operating bases after volunteering for the posting. Now he makes serious money working for a Military Contractor, just bought the house my sister lives in in fact so she'll always have a place to live
Here he was two months back. No shidt; I'm his favorite uncle We go way back.
Hang in here, Birdy. Those who have actually met you pretty much stand by you. I'm one.
IOW, he's a huge pussy in person, steada the blowhard he pretends to be on the innanet.
no he is not.
This^^^.
Does he start the same bullshit in person he starts here on the fire?
I respect the two opinions here, but if the guy actually comes across in person the same way he does on the net, he wouldn't have any teeth left.
Would he jump all over somebody's shat, in person, the way he's done in this very thread?
Does he turn *every* conversation (thread) ta make it bout *him*, like he's done in a thousand threads, includin this one?
Does he play the sanctimonious "victim" in person, or does he just do it on the fire?
Does he always have a bullshit "story" in endless supply, that attempts to trump the last contribution to the conversation, in person?
Does he always play the innocent victim, that just happens ta be the victim of circumstances (not of his own doing, you understand), so that he should be pitied, and then respected for overcoming alla those terrible
obstacles that just happened ta be placed in his way, all at the same time (not that it could possibly be his fault)?
I'm willing to accept it if I am wrong, but this dude looks like the lovable loser people hang around with cause it's easy ta feel superior to a POS.
Mike is not a loser, love able or otherwise. He’s a good guy who has been around some and likes to talk about the places he’s been, and not in a bragging way.
I’ve shared some campfires with him and hope to do it again.
Then why does a guy as old as he is, who's led an exemplary productive life, as he has, sleep on the floor with no hot water or air conditioning?
Just tryin ta understand how my a(hole)dar can be so far off.
Shared campfires, it appears he can afford.
If *you* bring the wood.
because he is trying to get out of debt from his past marriage as quick he as can, so he makes sacrifices a lot of us probably wouldn't do. As far as the way he comes off to some of you, i don't know, probably because you don't really know him.
Ill tell you what. Great thread to read while taking a crap.
Very true. I've been chowing down on home made sauerkraut for the past week and ran out of reading material a few days ago. Praise Allah for this thread (and for Costco toilet paper).

Actually quite admirable.

Sometimes Birdie comes off as quite eccentric, I've chalked it up to me not really knowing him outside of this place. I do believe he's slightly eccentric but definitely one the good guys.

Yes and he is a little bit eccentric, as is Gus, Ingwe, ...and everyone else except me and you and sometimes im not so sure about you. Dont you have a pitbull?
I'm still trying to figure out why my wife hasn't left me.
Next time you piss, look down.
Laffin'.
Has to be...
In all seriousness, I have wondered how Sammo, even while huge, handsome and a workaholic, could entice a great looking young woman to the Far East of Montana, population 71, on the Rez, with the awesome wind, cold and bonus quality nightlife, has stuck it out......

We're pretty compatible as lightshades and soap bars.
I’m still married, if I weren’t she’s no longer on my insurance I have really good insurance,and she might go without it on her own. She is prob’ly gonna outlive me by 20 years, if she is indigent that will all ultimately land on my son.
I do not see her from one month to the next but she does pay into my sons 401k because I see it when that goes through our old bank account.
I posted on the AC and hot water heater because those things are out. I could fix them but I’d rather pay off debt with that same money. Truth be told I got no interest in living comfortably in an empty house, I prefer to just camp out here and hold the place in abeyance for my son. Plus I need a home for the dogs and cat.
Why people get so PO’d about a guy sleeping on the floor etc I have no idea.
My lifestyle ain’t changed much since she left, other than the AC and hot water. Never paid attention to money before. I watched the debt happen, no idea where the money went, I assumed all of it when she left. Didn’t contest anything. I got a granddaughter who thinks I walk on water, she had to watch her mom leave her dad when she was three, I’m trying to preserve the “grandpa and grandpa” dynamic as best I can.
God willing, another 18 months and I’m regular Middle Class again.
Fubarski, you ain’t the first guy to offer to knock out my teeth, just the first one over the ‘net. Ya need to hurry up if yer actually gonna try it because they’re dropping like flies all by themselves.
But who dafug do I “relentlessly pick on” here?
Travis, who IMHO has done more than any other singles person here to drag down the old, great Fire has an effeminate compulsion to ridicule other men from the safety of the innernet for the benefit of the some among the crowd.
There’s been others, I figure I’m just the latest is all. However in rebuttals he does offer me many opportunities to talk further about me. He has also called me a liar many times over, something which I ain’t used to.
I figure the worst is mocking a guy because his wife left him as he has done repeatedly. Really, what else is the mark of a true pu$$y? I’ll just leave that one to karma.
Thanks all fer the support, I value your friendship highly, consider it a privilege in fact but heck, ain’t worth getting worked up about, this is just the ‘Fire.
Why does someone, who is a bit eccentric and who handles situations differently from how most of us would handle the same situations, scare the hell out of some people?

So what are you going to do when she runs up more debt which becomes "our" debt since you're not divorced? Texas is a community property state last time I checked.....
Fubarski, you ain’t the first guy to offer to knock out my teeth, just the first one over the ‘net. Ya need to hurry up if yer actually gonna try it because they’re dropping like flies all by themselves.
Never posted I'd knock your teeth out, Mr. Victim.
What I posted is that anybody actin in public like you do on the fire, would end up toothless, specially if they doubled down on their assholia, like you do.
Me, I'd pick those teeth up offa the floor, after a normal person deposited em there, and put em in your shirt pocket for the dentist at the hospital ta play jigsaw with.
Can't figure out the resta your "I'm a victim, for the thousandth time, you @ssholes!" post, but if you are indeed still married, after what you've posted, that *is* the mark of a true pussy.
Talkin bout kickin ass, was I round for whatever crap is apparently goin on for you, yes, I'd try and kick some sense inta yer head, but only as a favor to ya, in payment to the people who did the same for me, various times.
And those times, was needed and appreciated, afterwards.

Excellent point, I should look into that tho I don’t want to. It ain’t easy to regard your constant companion of twenty- plus years as the enemy. Back in the days that woman went under the knife three times trying to bear my children.

If you haven't looked into that yet you're really going to love it when you look into whats going to happen with your retirement... None of my concern but you might want to get your head out of your ass regarding divorce (or lack thereof) or you'll be telling debtors prison stories on the 'fire for the rest of your life.

You are responsible for debts YOU incur in your own name in Texas.... has nothing to do with community property. That’s not to say that a wife’s creditors can’t raise hell with you, but they have no legal recourse if your signature is not on the paper. Those newspaper notices ;”I will not be responsible for any debts other than my own “, are pretty much a thing of the past.
You can file for divorce in Texas and just not ask for a court date and it offers some protection against an estranged wife making medical decisions in the event of your incapacitation and has a few other advantages. The downside is that if a year lapses with no action, you have to refile. If I wanted to play “ Jailhouse Lawyer” for my friend Mike, that’s what I’d advise.
Sometimes you just have to do what seems to be the right thing and pay the price for the negative fallout that may occur. I think that’s what Mike is doing.
Only place I see him being in error is thinking he could have gotten by unscathed by posting personal info on this forum back in some imaginary years of a kinder, gentler, Campfire.

Sums it up exactly.
Tks for the kind thought Gene, fwiw ours ain’t the only former couple I know in a similar situation. It actually ain’t all that uncommon.

I figured I was vague enough, a few dollar amounts is all, and nothing that wouldn’t be obvious in court anyway
I ain't got no dog in this fight but you have to know that by not divorcing a woman that left you with all the expenses is asinine if you ever want to get out of debt.
She won't change and more than likely bad mouths you for being a pussy.
Drop her like a hot potato, man. It's WAY past due.
If Birdy's not divorcin a woman who's shackin up with ever other guy desperate enough, while Birdy remains celibate whilst pays alla her bills, then that's the best possible outcome that coulda possibly been devised by humanity.
It may "appear" that Birdy's bein taken for a sucker, pussy and fool by Mrs. Birdy, but that's only what it "looks like".
In reality, Birdy's a knight in shinin armor who saves damsels in distress, that had great physical strength, was fit, ate healthy and didn`t even look his age at all.

Curdog was right about divulging info, but I was thinking more along the lines of attorneys, not this....
I assumed all the debt, think of that as gratitude, she gave me the best years of her life, and mine. Alternative scenario: we go to court, lawyers get their cut, havoc is wreaked among family. I end up living like this for 2.5 years instead of four, she has crappy or no insurance, little kid has to deal with TWO divorces among the adults most critical to her.
And on a material level “like this” for me is not hardship at all.
My son’s health prospects for his later years are uncertain , I contribute “X” amount of dollars towards my ex’s insurance, in return for which she puts “X” amount o dollars into his retirement fund, through my account.
Turns out any debt she may unilaterally acquire since departing ain’t liable to me at all.
....and anyone she may lay down with gets all my diseases.....
true......a person can use any excuse to try and hang on …….better to just move on...….bob
And not misrepresent what you’re going through.
Divorce entails thousands upon thousands of dollars in legal fees and potentially huge sacrifices in long term take home pay.
To tell people you’re going through one when you’re not is an outright lie.
true again...also if the wife in this case ran the bills up......by not being truly divorced...she can do it again......the bird needs to move on with his life. living in the past, just keeps the whole ordeal dragging on …..plus people lose respect for you if you are always making excuses as to why you are still not making it final...….bob
There are a couple of members who will just make up lies about you out of whole cloth, no matter what you post, or don’t post.But only a couple.
The rest of your detractors will take a tiny fact that you divulge and embellish it into something that bears little resemblance to the truth.... but they get that fact from you.
It’s a waste of time and effort to try and straighten out mis conceptions others may have of you based on what a third party posts.
Ain’t ever been a shortage of folks looking for someone to to think badly about. It helps me to remind myself that none of you are real people until I’ve met you face to face.
